Overland

About This Movie

So, 'Overland' is an interesting one. The filmmakers really immerse themselves in the landscapes – you’ve got the vast American prairies, the serene Mediterranean coast, and the sprawling Mongolian steppe. It’s all about falconry, which, let’s be honest, isn’t the most common subject for documentaries. The pacing feels contemplative, almost meditative at times, and you get a real sense of the bond between human and bird. The natural sounds, the quiet moments, they really draw you in. And the visuals? Just stunning. There's something raw and genuine about the way they approach their subjects, both the people and the falcons. It's not flashy, but it’s distinctive in its authenticity, which is pretty refreshing.
